Qualified Mortgages - General
Qualified mortgage: a residential mortgage that provides for regular, substantially equal payments and does not include any of the following:
– Negative amortization loans
– Interest-only loans
– Balloon payment loans (with some exceptions)
– Loan with a term exceeding 30 years

Qualified Mortgages –Safe Harbor
• Presumption of Compliance for Qualified Mortgages
• Higher-Priced Covered Transaction (Rebuttable Presumption)
• “Avoid the lawyers”
![Page 23: CFPB Regulations on Ability to Repay and Qualified Mortgages - MDDCCUA Training Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5479fdab5806b571048b4769/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Qualified Mortgages
“Financial Institutions are not required to issue only Qualified Mortgages.” CFPB Director Richard Cordray has indicated that it would be a mistake for prudential regulators (NCUA?) to examine institutions in a way that steers them toward providing only mortgages defined as “qualified” under the Ability-to-Repay rule.
“I think there has been more hubbub around these requirements than is perhaps justified”
BUT…

Determination of Debt-to-Income Ratio
• Credit union is required to consider the borrower’s monthly debt-to-income ratio prior to extending a mortgage loan
• Credit union must consider the borrower’s total monthly debt obligations, including mortgage loan payments, payment of any other mortgage-related obligations and any other debt obligations
• The regulation does not prescribe a maximum debt-to-income threshold. Credit union must use its discretion to make a good faith reasonable determination of whether a potential borrower’s debt-to-income ratio is too high and would adversely affect their ability to pay
• 43%!!!!
